Man wanted for abuse of a corpse in connection with the death of Alabama woman, Paighton Houston, has been arrested in Ohio.
She was reported missing on Dec. 21 and was last seen at a Birmingham bar leaving with two men. She appeared to leave willingly, officials have said.from Houston saying she didn't know where she was and feared she was in trouble, but after that calls went to voice mail.
At the time that Jefferson County sheriff’s officials announced the arrest warrant against Hampton, they said that the autopsy report for Houston had not been completed.that the cause and manner of death has not yet been determined, and officials were awaiting additional tests that include toxicology tests.that investigators had evidence that Houston and Hampton were together the night of Dec. 20 and evidence that Houston died the next day at a house in the city of Brighton.
Agee said then that investigators have evidence that after Houston died, Hampton disposed of her body. Law enforcement officials forced entry into the home in the Cleveland area Wednesday to arrest Hampton, and he was taken into custody without incident, the Marshals Service said. He will remain in local custody pending extradition to Alabama. U.S. Marshal Peter Elliott said in the statement that Hampton"was very clearly on the run from authorities" and praised quick action by law enforcement in Alabama and Ohio.Phil Helsel
